Preventive Maintenance

AFTER FIRST WEEK —

Check alignment of the total system and

realign where necessary. Also, tighten all external bolts and plugs
where necessary.
DO NOT readjust the internal gear or bearing settings in the drive,
these were permanently set at the Factory.

PERIODICALLY —

Carefully check the oil level of the drive when

it is stopped and at ambient temperature, add oil if needed. If
the oil level is ABOVE the oil level plug, have the oil analyzed for
water content. If moisture content exceeds 500 ppm, change
the oil. DO NOT fill above the oil level plug as leakage or undue
heating may result. Grease drives with grease lubricated bearings
monthly; refer to Table 16 — Typical Grease Recommendations
& Specifications. Check coupling alignment to make certain that
foundation settling has not caused excessive misalignment.

Bearing Grease

Some Ultramite gear drives have one or more grease-lubricated
bearings. Whenever changing oil in the drive, grease the bearings
with one of the greases listed in Table 16 — Typical Grease
Recommendations & Specifications. Regrease these bearings
as part of the standard maintenance program. Before installing
a drive, note the location of all of the bearing grease fittings and
grease labels for future maintenance reference. Note that some
fittings may be above the oil level line and others below. If a grease
fitting will become inaccessible after drive is installed, replace
the fitting with a pipe extension (and the fitting) so that the grease
fitting will be in an accessible location after the drive is installed.
Always remove the purge plug (when provided) when greasing
bearings so that the old grease can escape. Wipe off purged
grease and replace the plug after greasing bearings.
Some of the greases listed in Table 16 may contain toxic
substances and should not be used in the food processing
industry without the grease manufacturers’ approval. A grease that
meets the USDA “H1” classification is suitable for food processing
applications.

Stored & Inactive Gear Drives

Each gear drive is protected with rust preventive that will protect
parts against rust for a period of 6 months in an indoor dry shelter.
If a gear drive is to be stored, or is inactive after installation beyond
the above periods, drain oil from housing and spray all internal
parts with a rust preventive oil that is soluble in lubricating oil or add
“Motorstor™” vapor phase rust inhibitor at the rate of one ounce
per cubic foot of internal drive space (or 5% of sump capacity) and
rotate the shafts several times by hand. Before operating, drives
which have been stored or inactive must be filled to the proper level
with oil meeting the specifications given in this manual. Refer to
Manual 128-014 for “Start-up after Storage” instructions.

Periodically inspect stored or inactive gear drives and spray or
add rust inhibitor every six months, or more often if necessary.
Indoor dry storage is recommended.

Gear drives ordered for extended storage can be treated at the
Factory with a special preservative and sealed to rust-proof parts
for periods longer than those cited previously.
